The Ballyhoo Skirt Everybody Trusts

Ask any offshore crew between Virginia and the Keys what skirt they run over ballyhoo, and the Blue Water Candy Jag will be in the conversation. The 3-1/4 oz head is heavy enough to track well at trolling speeds but light enough to keep the bait swimming naturally.

The powder coat finish is tougher than paint and more vibrant than bare resin. The Mylar flash insert catches light at every angle, adding the flash that triggers strikes from a distance. This is a bread-and-butter lure for East Coast offshore trolling. At $28.99, keeping a dozen in your spread bag is a no-brainer.

Powder Coated Head

The 3-1/4 oz head features a durable powder coat finish that resists chips and scratches from repeated use, tackle box storage, and fish strikes. The finish stays vibrant season after season.

Mylar Flash Insert

Mylar material inside the skirt catches and reflects light from every angle. This flash mimics the shimmer of a wounded baitfish and draws attention to the ballyhoo trailing behind the skirt.

Hand Made in the USA

Each Jag is hand assembled in the USA. The attention to detail in skirt alignment and head finish is consistent across units. Multiple color options from pink and blue to purple and green let you match any condition.

How to Rig a Blue Water Candy Jag with Ballyhoo

1. Thaw and brine your ballyhoo for firmness

2. Thread the ballyhoo through the Jag skirt with the bill extending past the head

3. Rig the hook through the ballyhoo using your preferred rigging method

4. Secure with copper wire or rigging floss

5. Deploy at 5-8 knots behind the boat

6. Position in your trolling spread based on species target

How do I rig a Jag with ballyhoo? +
Thread the ballyhoo bill through the skirt and secure with your rigging needle and wire. The Jag head sits in front of the bait. Read our ballyhoo rigging guide for step-by-step instructions.
What species does the Jag catch? +
Mahi, tuna (yellowfin, blackfin, bluefin), wahoo, sailfish, and marlin all eat Jags. It is a true multi-species trolling skirt. See our offshore trolling guide.
What is the difference between the Jag and Mini Jag? +
The Jag at 9 inches and 3-1/4 oz is the standard size. The Mini Jag at 5-1/2 inches and 3/4 oz is a smaller, lighter presentation for finicky fish or lighter tackle setups.
What about the Jag-A-Hoo? +
The Jag-A-Hoo is a different animal. It is rigged on 275 lb cable with a spinner blade for high speed wahoo trolling at 8-12 knots. The standard Jag is for ballyhoo trolling at 5-8 knots.
What is the best color for mahi? +
Pink and blue combinations are the all-time mahi favorites. Green/chartreuse and cotton candy also produce well. Stock several colors and rotate. Read our mahi guide for more.
Is the powder coat durable? +
Very durable. Powder coat is tougher than spray paint and resists chipping from tackle box storage and fish strikes. The finish stays vibrant across seasons of use.
